So does XP load? You said it wasn't fully installed, does it load at all? I find your post jumps all over the place. First you start by saying that it only plays music, then you say XP wasn't installed all the way. Well if XP wasn't installed all the way you wouldn't know about the CDRW only playing music. Because XP wouldn't load into the GUI.<br/><br/>Where did you change the boot order at? In the BIOS? I'll need more and clearer information before I can tell you what the problem may be. <br/><br/>Is it the XP Windows cd or just a recovery cd? Yeah, Mystik is right. Please be more specific.<br/><br/>You can enter BIOS striking DEL continiously at startup. Then <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/due-433472" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DUE">DUE</a> to your PC model Advanced BIOS Setting or whatever... Choose first boot device.<br/><br/>And don't forget to check the <strong>link</strong> I mentioned above.Actually to enter the BIOS varies. It could be a few different buttons. It depends on the make of the BIOS. Quote</p><blockquote>Actually to enter the BIOS varies. It could be a few different buttons.

There is no service pack 3, by the way.<br/>I have heard of an 'unofficial' SP3 for Windows XP. Do you happen to know where this Service Pack 3 comes from?It's a collection of several MS updates <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/plus-591752" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PLUS">PLUS</a> who knows what else. It is definitely NOT from Microsoft. Isaw the link and went to one of the web sites that "has" it, but was totally unimpressed. I have now filed the URL in my useless information lobe of the brain, which is unaccessible.That's what you think. I have retrieved it from the supposedly useless information lobe of your brain, which is accessible to all of us with the ability to hack into other people's thought waves and dig out as much useless trivia as we can find.<br/><br/>As evidence of this extraordinary claim I shall post the evidence here...<a href="https://www.thehotfix.net">http://www.thehotfix.net</a><br/><br/>I would recommend that you add a tinfoil lining to your hat and wear it permanently. <br/><br/></body></html>
